8 Days Tanzania migration safari to Lake Manyara/ Ngorongoro
crater Lodge /Serengeti Ndutu area safari Package
Day 1: Arrival - Arusha
Pick up from Kilimanjaro airport on arrival and transfer you
to Kibo Palace Hotel for Dinner and overnight stay.
Day 2 Arusha - Lake Manyara- Ngorongoro conservation area
Leave Arusha at 0800 hrs and proceed to Lake Manyara
national park for full day game drives with packed lunches –
proceed to Ngorongoro conservation area for dinner and
overnight stay at Ngorongoro Serena lodge .
Located beneath the cliffs of the Manyara Escarpment, on the
edge of the Rift Valley, Lake Manyara National Park offers
varied ecosystems, incredible bird life, and breathtaking
views. Lake Manyara’s famous tree-climbing lions are another
reason to pay this park a visit. The only kind of their
species in the world, they make the ancient mahogany and
elegant acacias their home during the rainy season, and are
a well-known but rather rare feature of the northern park.
In addition to the lions, the national park is also home to
the largest concentration of baboons anywhere in the world
-- a fact that makes for interesting game viewing of large
families of the primates.
Day 3: Ngorongoro Crater Tour
Early breakfast then descend into to Ngorongoro Crater for a
full day crater tour with packed lunches ascend for dinner
and overnight at Ngorongoro Serena Lodge.
The Ngorongoro Crater is often called ‘Africa’s Eden’ and
the ‘8th Natural Wonder of the World,’ a visit to the crater
is a main draw card for tourists coming to Tanzania and a
definite world-class attraction. The Ngorongoro Conservation
Area (NCA) is home of Ngorongoro Crater. It was formed some
2.5 million years ago from a volcanic mountain sinking due
to inactivity, and was initially thought to be higher than
Tanzania’s famous Kilimanjaro. The crater has evolved into a
unique and integral part of Tanzania’s eco-system. The
crater is actually a caldera, measures 22.5 km’s across and
the rim walls stand 600m high. Views from within and from
the rim are breathtaking (as can be seen from the picture).
The crater houses 30,000 animals and a large variety of
birds, which rarely move from the area due to the
availability of water through wet and dry seasons
Day 4: Serengeti Ndutu Plains - Olduvai Gorge
After breakfast drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Area via
Olduvai Gorge archaeological site. At Olduvai
palaeo-anthropological diggings and discoveries have taken
place over many years, by, among others, the famous
husband-and-wife team of Louis and Mary Leakey. After
leaving Olduvai we will soon be passing through multitudes
of wildebeest en route to the renowned Ndutu Area, ideally
situated under classic umbrella-thorn acacias in the heart
of the southern Serengeti where we spend the afternoon
viewing herds of wildebeest/Zebras and predators. Dinner and
overnight stay at Ndutu safari lodge or Luxury Tented camp
Days 5 -7: Ndutu plains
The next 3 days will be spent exploring the grassy plains
and woodlands in the area, tracking the massed herds of
wildebeest and zebra, witnessing the birth of new calves and
trailing predators such as lion, cheetah and hyena on the
hunt. The area also teems with other wildlife, including
elephants, eland, various gazelle species, Kirk’s dik-dik,
giraffe and the elusive leopard. Ndutu safari lodge or
Luxury Tented camp
Serengeti is easily Tanzania’s most famous national park,
and it’s also the largest, at 14,763 square kilometres of
protected area that borders Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Park It
is the Migration for which Serengeti is perhaps most famous.
Over a million wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras flow
south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the
short rains every October and November, and then swirl west
and north after the long rains in April, May and June. So
strong is the ancient instinct to move that no drought,
gorge or crocodile infested river can hold them back. The
Wildebeest travel through a variety of parks, reserves and
protected areas and through a variety of habitat. Join us to
explore the different forms of vegetation and landscapes of
the Serengeti ecosystem and meet some of their most
fascinating inhabitants
